    lol yes it’s a standard form of housing, remember that 80% of people live in urban areas basically no matter which country you’re talking about. 50% of the population lives in the 3 metropolitan areas, the vast majority of the population lives south of gävle, and basically everyone in the north lives on the coast or in the few inland urban areas.

    The nordics are honestly pretty similar to north america, just on a much smaller scale. no one lives in wyoming but that doesn’t mean the USA has no dense areas (NYC has a larger population than norway).

        geographically.

        we have the same general distribution of our populations, with like half the population living in a fraction of the area and at least like a third of the area being basically devoid of humans.

        this is unlike a lot of central europe where the population is really spread out and there isn’t really a lot of empty space left, or e.g. russia which is the other extreme of everyone living in moscow and 90% of the country being devoid of humans.
